Green baikhovi tea (cook - tea) do without drying and fermentation, heat processing prevails.

Red and yellow teas are intermediate types - since pass fermentation in the incomplete form. The degree of fermentation in red teas is expressed more, hence, red closer to black, and yellow - to a nonfermented tea.

However the main vitamin is nevertheless vitamin R (routines) strengthening walls of capillaries. Tea contains pigments, pitchy substances, pectinaceous substances, enzymes, organic acids, carbohydrate, mineral salts: Sodium - 82 mg, kalija 2480 mg, calcium - 495 mg, magnesium of 440 mg, phosphorus of 825 mg, iron - 82 mg for 100

On a way of processing teas can be bulk (baikhovi), pressed and ekstragirovannymi. The pressed teas can be: brick, plate and tableted. Recently began to develop the grained teas, instant teas (it ekstragirovannye dry or liquid tea extracts).
